Daily News Will Preside Over Leyritz Expedited Trial

I'll go on record to say that the Daily News' reporting of the Leyritz DUI accident has been nothing short of reckless. By no means do I condone drunken driving, but the manner in which the Daily News initially reported the incident and has continued to report (here and here) is careless and irresponsible. When a driver allegedly runs a red light while drunk, hitting another vehicle and killing its driver, passions do not need to be inflamed any further. Nevertheless, the Daily News runs follow up articles of a priest damning Leyritz and a claim that Leyritz "squandered millions on booze." The priest article is just inflamatory. The booze article is inflamatory and lacks any facts or sources to substantiate the claim.
